But it did break box office records, so I guess I'm not the intended audience.

Did it? I wondered how it was doing, but IMDB just had last week's movies listed under "Tops at the Box Office"

I think it's probably a good thing if it sells well. More chance for an X4, which might be better... Or am I just being Pollyanna? It's unusual enough for a good movie to have a good sequel. When the third one goes downhill, probably time to ditch it...
